Fr. Stan Swamy, was booked under UAPA, on charges of having connections with a banned Maoist organization and for allegedly conspiring to cause communal violence in the country and planning an armed militia against the PM Modi’s government.

The allegations make him sound like a dangerous man and a threat to the country but an outpouring number of activists including the UN commission for human rights questioned and criticized the government and its agencies for his death.

In this episode, we speak to Fr. Swamy's colleagues, Aloka Kujur and P.M Antony, and professor, Apoorvanand Jha to understand his life and his work.
